Cornilleau's Tacteo Bat Technology
Three years of research and development in a collaboration with Michelin
were essential to create this range of composite weatherproof bats.
The idea of an outdoor bat was revolutionary when Cornilleau first came up
with it, but between Cornilleau's Table Tennis market knowledge and
Michelin's in rubber, they created a bat that has since been re-created by
several other brands.
Because of the unique design and materials used for the Tacteo bat range
they can be left outside without deterioration and they are extremely
durable. They are not only built to last but have a playing performance
equal to the combination of sponge and rubber used in the traditional
table tennis bats.
They're absolutely perfect for use at home, especially if you have kids,
because the one-piece rubber design stops people from peeling off the
rubbers (this is what usually ruins traditional bats). For this reason,
and the fact that they're also shock-resistant, they're perfect for use in
schools and leisure centres.
Tacteo Bat Durability
The Tacteo bat range has been specifically designed to withstand extreme
conditions. It has protection against high and low temperature with a bat
surface that can't come unstuck, it's shock resistant and has resistance
to UV rays, insuring a long lasting colour.
Michelin experts devised an ADS (Air Driver System) concept which is a
dynamic surface technology with cavities. The shape of the cavities and
the high elasticity of the elastomer has been specifically designed to
trap air within the cavities as the table tennis ball makes contact with
the bat. The air captured in the cavities is compressed and then expelled
to propel the table tennis ball and increase speed.
Comfort and Grip
The Tacteo table tennis bat gives a unique sensation due to its
incomparable comfort. Cornilleau and Michelin have really focused on the
ergonomics of the handle which provides a perfect hold reinforced by the
addition of a tactile rubberised material which enables a better grip.
Eco bat range
This brand new bat range from Cornilleau is the world's first eco-design
of table tennis bats. After several years of research and development
working in conjunction with Armor Lux and their bio-injection partner,
Cornilleau has launched the first 'green' racket that's made from recycled
materials. The Softbat is ideal for use in schools and at home as a
training bat. The bats playing surface creates some spin but not so much
that it makes the game harder for beginners. The round, ergonomic handle
suits both children and adults, and the weatherproof design makes it
perfect for all environments.
These bats are weather resistant, shock resistant and have a
non-detachable covering.
